It's fair to say the BBC's revamped Top Gear was, to put it politely, a shower of shite. However, now that's all over with it's time to get revved up for Jeremy Clarkson's new motoring show, The Grand Tour.
The 56-year-old presenter is currently in South Africa filming the first 12 episodes of the series with his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May.
Photos have now appeared online showing the trio sat in a huge outdoor tent in Johannesburg.

It looks pretty sick...
The presenters announced the name of their new show - which will be made available on Amazon Prime Video - back in May.

"Thing is," said Clarkson in a statement, "we'll be travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country, from a giant tent. It's a sort of 'grand tour', if you like. So we've decided to call it The Grand Tour."
His co-star, James May, openly admitted he was a bit underwhelmed by the name, while also clearly taking the piss. "I wanted to call it 'Nigel', or 'Roger,'" he said. "We needed a name, and they're names."
However, Richard Hammond was more upbeat about the title and the idea of travelling the world with his pals.
"I already love camping," he said. "But this is something else. We are like our pioneering and prospecting forebears, sallying forth into a new frontier of broadcasting, and making our home."

Looks like they're going to have the best time gallivanting the globe with that tent in tow to be fair.
No release date has been confirmed yet, but it's expected to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in mid-Autumn.
What do you reckon lads? Will you be tuning in?
